Is it normal to receive only a 30-day extension after entering Thailand on a visa exempt?

I'm shutting this down to prevent the post from being hijacked.

At most immigration offices, a person must acquire a 30 day extension of stay based on tourism before a 60 day extension of stay based on unable to travel due to COVID-19 can be issued.

The last day to apply for a 60 day extension of stay based on unable to travel due to COVID-19 is November 26.

A person can apply for a new extension of stay at Bangkok Immigration when there is 45 days or less remaining on the "extension of stay admitted to" stamp that was issued.

IF you are within the 45 day window on November 26, you can apply for a 60 day extension of stay based on unable to travel due to COVID-19. However, the 60 day extension of stay based on unable to travel due to COVID-19 will begin on the day you apply, and will not be added on to your existing "admitted to" stamp. The cost is 1,900 THB.

I can't see this going anywhere. If anyone disagrees, please make your own post .Thank you.

I've never been to Bangkok immig but, just to be prepared, what is the easiest way to get there?

Go back to immigration around the 24th November for the covid extension, your timing is perfect. Takes you through to late Jan

Next time will be a covid extension (IF THEY STILL EXIST)

Sounds normal to me. MOST immigration offices require a person who entered on a visa exempt to get a 30 day extension of stay based on tourism before being able to apply for a 60 day extension of stay based on unable to travel due to COVID-19.
